'We'll Meet Again’ is a heart touching song that speaks of steadfast optimism in the face of adversity. It was sung about departing troops who were resolute in their intention to return ‘one sunny day’. It fits our time today too as we look forward to a time when we will be able to meet once again.
 
It was recorded and sung all over Europe and Asia by the 'forces sweetheart' Vera Lynn, lifting the morale in those dark days of WWII. It has continued to demonstrate the power of music to raise spirits in times of collective hardship. Vera also became popular for her songs ‘The White Cliffs of Dover’ and ‘There'll always be an England’, which she sang in concerts for troops in Egypt, India and Burma.
 
The Eden Wild Goose Community Choir have been practising it in preparation for the VE Day celebrations. Their virtual recording can be heard on the church website, Eden Wild Goose Storytelling.
 
In a Classic FM interview Dame Vera Lynn sent out a powerful message to society following the coronavirus outbreak. ‘Rediscover that same spirit that saw us through the war. I am reminded of World War Two, when our country faced the darkest of times and yet, despite our struggles, pulled together for the common good and we faced the common threat together as a country, and as a community of countries that joined as one right across the world. I am sure many people, especially the elderly, are worried about what the future may hold. I encourage you all to keep smiling through. Even if we are isolated in person, we can still be united in spirit. As the war showed us so many years ago, we are all stronger than we think and however desperate things may seem today, remember that we can still be kind, we can still laugh... and we can still sing.’
